SECURITY SERVICES ALERT - March 17, 2011

Calgary Police Service Public Information Notice:

Release of High Risk Offender

Derek Ross Calf-Child, 46, is in the Calgary area after having served a 56-month federal prison sentence for sexual assault causing bodily harm from a 2007 event when he followed a female victim from a downtown LRT to the University of Calgary campus.

He will now be monitored by the Calgary Police Service High Risk Offender Program on a Section 810.2 Criminal Code Peace Bond for two years.

Calf-Child, who was released into the Calgary area Monday, March 7, 2011, has a lengthy history of criminal convictions dating back to 1983, including sexual assault, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon.

The public is warned that Calf-Child has a history of sexually assaulting female adults and children.

He is described as Aboriginal, 5’6” tall, and 170 lbs., with brown eyes, a dark complexion and black-and-grey hair.

The Calgary Police Service issued this information and warning after careful deliberation and consideration of all related issues, including privacy concerns, in the belief that it is clearly in the public interest to inform the members of the community of the release of Calf-Child.
